LARGEST GRIZZLY BEAR
SPECIMEN IN MUSEUM
The largest grizzly bear ever found by man has been preserved, in the form of a mounted specimen, for future generations. The monster grizzly was. recently installed in the American Museum of Natural History in New York, whose director is G. H. Sherwood. John M. Holzworth, chairman of the national committee for preservation of the Alaskart grizzly and brown hear, which is engaged in trying to secure Admiralty Island, off Alaska, as a bear sanctuary, was the captor of the hear. Though this grizzly seems to lie just about as big as any bear could lie, there are larger hears in Alaska., the mammoth brown bears of the Kadiak Islands, and similar beasts of the Alaskan mainland.
